Aftermarket TBs are a waste unless you're going F/I and have been known to cause problems

I have a V6 and Auto... and I have no issues spinning the tires, and that is without power braking. I just make sure I am pointing forward, have enough road, and I punch the gas and try and keep it straight....

1st... 2nd..... and by the time 3rd kicks in I grip

ya, aftermarket throttle bodies have been known to stick closed as wont let your mustang start. and most likely you will get stranded in places. if your sure you want one, then do it, but be forewarned. they are notorious for problems.

Dang I had no idea about the throttle bodies, Thanks! I will mark that one off the list. I was told by a guy at the ford dealer it would add some h/p. this might be a dumb question but what is F/I ?

Forced induction. Nitrous, turbo, supercharger. It always sounded to me like the technical name for rape though
